Its been a while since I last posted. I'll start with the oldest photos first.
I took my fender into work and had a guy cut them in half and weld mounting brackets.
The photo above is a picture of my lab bench at work.
On Wednesday, June 17, 2009 the towns of Harrison City and Manor, PA Westmoreland County got hit with heavy rains. They got something like 3-4 inches of rain an hour for about 4-5 hours. The plant that I work at got hit hard with flash flooding. We got about 4 feet of flooding throughout the whole plant and a lot of things were destroyed. When the water subsided the whole place looked like Beirut. The water level came to the halfway point of the edge of the countertop. So everything that was below the countertop was destroyed.
My desk was not lucky. The water came up to about an inch below the bottom of the calendar. My phone, computer, papers that I was working on (pretty much everything was destroyed). I have been working long hours since, cleaning up. I finally got a computer on Wednesday, a desk chair on Thursday, and am still waiting on a desk and phone.
So I haven't had much time for building, as I am pretty much wiped out when I get home.
I do however have a deadline to meet (Myrtle Beach, SC the last week of July) so I am trying to go into hyperspeed. But you guys are right when you say the last 10% takes 90% of the time.
I started by building a door and installing the aluminum.
I cut most of the aluminum with shears, and what I couldn't get with the shears I used a jigsaw with a fine blade.
Then I went to install the door and found that it was too snug for the opening (not including trim pieces). So my brother came over and we trimmed the door to fit and added the trim work. With the lights, vents and cable installed it looks like its coming together.
Now we just have to do the other side.
The inside, I will add some wood trim to finish out the door. I still need to install the door knob.
Then I finished connecting all the wiring up inside the roof on the one side and than started putting the pink insulation in the roof. Ran out of the pink stuff so I need to get some more tomorrow.
